Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 789476, member: 289"] A lot of problems could be solved if the NFL and NBA created a minor league system like baseball and hockey so that athletes wouldn't have to pretend to be college students to get there. Let the guys who want to go right to professional sports do so. College should be for the players with real academic goals for whom a scholarship would mean something besides the opportunity to play. And I don't think the popularity of college sports would suffer: that's based on the smll markets they represent who want their teams to put them on the map. I think a lot of the recruiting, eligilty, discipline and legal problems the colleges are currently dealing with would go away. [/QUOTE]
